Say It Ain’t So

Take time to listen to the words in my head

Some will listen but the others say I’m better off dead

If you know me (know me)

Then you probably know

I’m always on my own

Don’t know which way to go

(Say it ain’t so)

I try to speak but the silence screams

Caught between nightmares and broken dreams

Every step feels like a war

And I don’t know what I’m fighting for

So I scream into the silence, hoping someone hears

Drowning in the echoes of my darkest fears

I’m not okay, but I pretend I am

Wearing every scar like a badge again

If I fade away, would you even know?

Or would I be just another ghost?

I paint a smile just to hide the cracks

But the mirror shows the truth I lack

If you see me (see me)

Don’t look away

I’ve been fading

More and more each day

(Say it ain’t so)

I reach for light but it slips through

Like everything I thought was true

I’m tired of running from the pain

But standing still just feels the same

So I scream into the silence, hoping someone hears

Drowning in the echoes of my darkest fears

I’m not okay, but I pretend I am

Wearing every scar like a badge again

If I fade away, would you even know?

Or would I be just another ghost?

Tell me I’m not lost forever

Tell me storms don’t last

Give me something I can hold

When the future feels like the past

(Say it ain’t so…)

So I scream into the silence, hoping someone hears

Drowning in the echoes of my darkest fears

I’m not okay, but I pretend I am

Wearing every scar like a badge again

If I fade away, would you even know?

Or would I be just another ghost?
